Even the suspected Stegosaur left its mark here: one of only a handful of such five-toed prints in the world. But the largest and most abundant footfalls belonged to the towering vegetarian sauropods. And this is the trackway of one large sauropod that came wandering past Broome about 132-, 135-million years ago: big footprints, one there, another one there, a big footprint here; and interspersed amongst them, some smaller footprints, thought to have been made by a calf, wandering with its mother. There is little evidence, though, for parental care in sauropods, and once you reach this sort of size, little need for it. Finding enough to eat was probably a bigger concern than avoiding predators. But for most Australian dinosaurs, day to day life was a hazardous experience, as a small herd discovered 95-million years ago, near Winton, in Queensland.
